casey17:LEGO's suck now. They were best when they were just a bunch of bricks & you could make whatever you could imagine, instead of these pre-conceived "sets".

My mom wouldn't let me have them - she said they'd get all up in the vacuum cleaner. They wouldn't have if she'd WATCH WHERE SHE VACUUMED! :-(

*sulk*

Yep, my mom had similar bullshiat excuses, but neighbor kid had all the cool stuff. GI Joe with every gun and uniform imaginable, Wild Wild West gun, holster, and hat! You name it, that kid had it. While his mom enjoys the rest of her days in a highrise assisted living condo, I hope my mom enjoys the used 5th wheel I got her to live out her days in farking Florida.

But what I was going to say is that if you built 2,972 White Houses every almost every moron in the country could have one, except the real contrarians, of course, who are never pleased with anything. 2,972 carefully chosen* Presidents would make the country an efficient democracy. Nobody would have a clue who was running things. Just like now. Nobody would agree with anybody on even the most obvious facts. Just like now. And the country would somehow survive being run by History's Greatest Monsters and Most Complete Idjits. Just like now.

*By carefully chosen, I mean randomly selected within demographic constraints so as to represent the population. Like juries, only not so stupid.

If the US was split into like 3,000 mini countries they would be rather tiny, hell there is like what maybe 500 cities with over 100k people.
